All states should have mandatory minimum sentences.

That makes sense. It's frustrating that repeat offenders keep getting off easy and will continue to get off easy but some go to jail for a very long time for their first minor offense. Not that people shouldn't be punished for crimes.

Maybe your idea could make a difference.

I like that he may be facing a longer sentence, don't like the fact that he could take a plea deal. Actually I don't like that at all, I understand what Jusme said about upkeep of the trial process. Sometimes, I wish DAs would just throw the book at repeat offenders.

Eric M. Booker is very lucky he is able to stand trial. I am glad Mr Guster refused to be a victim and defended himself.
